Clicker Adjustments

[GOT WOODS?]

I've been working on my suspension and I've managed to somewhat dial in the front and have the plushness I hoped to get, but this has made me notice how overall harsh the rear shock is. The rebound and damping feel equal and I want to soften up the overall feel. My questions: Are the clickers a one-to-one adjustment? As in if you soften the rebound clicker one click, you soften the damping clicker one click? Or is it not that simple and it's somethin like a one-to-two, or even something not at all linear? Also, how fine is the adjustment per click, as in do 3 clicks each at a time or you won't notice anything?

My race sag is currently at 4 3/4" but I'm going to get that up to 4". The measurements I took on the spring show that it is still in the stock position.

If someone has a good combo for the clickers I'm all ears!

Me:
6' 4" tall
230lbs fully geared up
Older than the dirt we ride upon...
Ride rocky, technical terrain and want to be able to use every inch of the suspension that the Kawasaki Gods have bequeathed unto us....

Thanks!

How long has it been since the shock was rebuilt?

How old is the oil?

What is your weight in full riding gear, tools, parts, extra gas, water backpack, etc.?

With a shock with proper mechanical condition and reasonably fresh oil, set the sag at 100 mm. Then check the race sag from there. It will never work GREAT without the shock working properly on good oil and the correct spring rate.


Going from clicker position one to three is going to be more noticeable than going from 21 to 23. The closer it is to fully closed, the more it has an effect.

I would move it 5 clicks one way to notice a change. Just think of it as oil restriction.

One does not have to adjust compression and rebound at the same time.
